>>What I dislike about VR is the low resolution of the images that makes you feel like you need to be wearing glasses for nearsightedness, but arent. Another problem is that when wearing my glasses with the headset on, it pushed my glasses back towards my eyes, resulting in a buildup of oil on the glasses lens from being brushed by my eyelashes. I have to stop periodically to cleaned the blurring smear off. IMO, VR is not ready for prime-time.<<
Yeah the blurring and cleaning are limiting and the raster graphics of “created worlds” are basically Intellivision level.
But the time I “spent” in the ISS, parachuting down with the Golden Knights, hitching a ride on a balloon to 20,000 feet and “visiting” the greatest places in the world are worth it.
I also have a 3D camera (Gear — only good for daylight). I have been able to relive some places I have been and even some rides (such as the Cars ride at Disney California Adventure).
It might not be ready for prime time but I think it is close and I was so happy I was able to have my 94 year old FIL “travel” with my wife and me to some of our trips.
Yes, it is a remarkable experience. I hope we’re just a year or so away from solving the major problems. When Sony came out with the VR adaptation for playing Skyrim, that sucked me in. Maybe enough other people jumped in to give the medium a financial boost.
